Hi peeps, sorry if this is a repeat or nooob thread.
Here's how it went:
I flashed JM8, then to JP6 Froyo, then I rooted using CFroot, then I apply Voodoo 5.
All is well until I apply Voodoo. The market was lost and my quadrant is about 1540 but still kinda laggy.
So, I reflashed everything once again.
I "disable_lagfix" on Voodoo and went through JM8, JP6, CFroot again.
After completion, I deleted the disable_lagfix file.
I played with the phone the whole day and thought I had Voodoo enabled. But my quadrant is only 977 now.
So, do I have to Odin flash Voodoo again? I want Voodoo but I don't want it if it clears up my settings and apps. Yeah I can restore them but it takes super long time and I don't want that.
Suggestions please.
Thanks to mods for moving it here.

Update: I figured out the issue
So, I had my device rooted and attempted to install the Voodoo lagfix. I had the SRE 1.3, but I didn't apply the one click lag fix. From what I found, there shouldn't be any problem applying the voodoo lagfix over the SRE kernel. Anyways, to be sure, I reflashed my kernel back to the stock JH7, and used the update.zip method. I got the robot voice telling me it was done, but it stayed on the ATT startup screen for, well, EVER. It never booted up past that point. Worried I had done something wrong, I reflashed, and ran the remove lagfix thing as there was a voodoo folder created. I tried it again and I got the same thing.
Again, I removed the lagfix, reflashed, and tried again, but this time, I fell asleep (for 8 hours or so...) and it was still at the ATT boot screen.
Am I doing something wrong?
Note: I do have my device overclocked (as included with the SRE build I used). Would that matter?
Thanks!
Looks like the overclocking wasn't compatible. This thread can be closed/deleted. Thanks
Hey folks, so here's a basic summary of what I've done up to now...
Rooted... have Rom Manager, etc...
Flashed JH7 OTA with Clockwork. Worked nicely. Set some things up, happy at this stage so I made a backup.
Decided to try Cognition, was 2.1.4. Had some trouble with a few things.
Disabled lagfix, simple enough.
Flashed to a backup made when I was on regular JH7.
So to the question... when I go to About in Settings, my Kernel still says
[email protected] #Voodoo_lagfix_3.0_v1.9.
Shouldn't the Kernel have converted back when I restored/flashed my backup?
Clockwork won't reflash your kernel (unless it's a package with included kernel) however the voodoo kernel you currently have on your phone operates the same as a stock kernel until you remove the disable-lagfix folder. Cognition 2.1.4 does utilize that version of the kernel to enable init.d scripts for things like MobileAP to function
You just have all the answers don't ya?
Thanks again, really appreciate it.

Haha I do my best to stay informed around here
I rooted my phone galaxy s and installed a lag fix using a youtube video for help a couple of weeks ago. Now froyo is upon us i would like to unroot my phone and remove this lag fix. I though if i went on the mcr scripts app and removed the fix then the lag fix would be gone and then i could just wipe my phone back to factory settings. after doing this and wipeing my phone however. i still have both the superuser permissions and mcr scripts apps on my phone. surely this means i havent unrooted my phone? I am a total noob and so dont have a clue what to do next. Any help would be greatfully apprecciated.

Hey Mad2Ad,
I went to the voodoo irc channel to ask for help. I was told to not worry. Just make sure your lagfix is disabled. When the new firmware comes, it will copy a new firmware/kernal to your phone and erase everything (root, lagfix, etc). So don't worry. But key action > DISABLE LAGFIX before you do anything.

Thanks for the advice jonnie,
How can i be sure ive uninstalled the lagfix though? MCR scripts is still present in applications. When i run the quadrant standard app though my score is 871 whilst it was of course over 2000 after rooting so surely this would mean ive unrooted my phone. I was just under the impression that once ive done that the superuser permissions would dissapper.
Heres the info my phone gives me if it helps.
csc: xajf3
kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Ive just installed the latest firmware from kies and im now running
csc:I9000XAJM1
my baseband is now: XXJM1
The MCR scripts and superuser apps have both dissappeared now so im assuming ive de lagfixed and unrooted my phone.
I need to find out if I can install OCLF 2.2 over Voodoo 5 pre6. If yes, do i need to disable voodoo first?
Am I also doing it in the correct manner? I already have Voodoo 5 flashed to my phone.
Lastly, if this is indeed possible, what are your feedbacks? Did SGS improved? Did it lag again after several days?
didn't work for me. got a black screen once it loaded up. probably did something wrong but you could try it and report back here.
So I've flashed about 15-20 different ROMS on my Captivate. I used ODIN the first time. Every single time since then, I just did a TiBu, copied that to my external sd, and just downloaded the ROM straight to my phone and used ROM Manager. I never disabled lagfix or flashed back to stock. I also haven't had problems. (I bootlooped once, but that was when I tried to disable voodoo lagfix by creating the "disable-lagfix" folder in its directory.) Is this dangerous to my phone?
I ask because today I installed Firefly 2.4, and I read that the speedmod lagfix is disabled by default and needs re-enabled through recovery. When I did it, it did a full nandroid backup and restore. Is that normal? I've had very little experience with messing with the lagfixes.
Anybody wanna be my hero and enlighten me?

do not worry, that is normal ... you should be fine.
